People often use clothing to communicate identity, status, occupation, or belonging. What you wear can often say who you are or what you are aligned with. In Galatians 3:23-4:7, Paul uses a clothing metaphor to challenge believers to consider what they are wearing "spiritually". Are we dressed in the old clothing of control, of fear, of immaturity? Or have we been clothed in Christ and welcomed into God's family? What are you wearing?
Darren and his wife Crista run a small church in Steveston called Church at the Hub. It has been described as a fresh expression of church that aims to help people to live a flourishing life with and through Jesus. In addition, they also run the Steveston Hub, which is an alternative community space in the heart of Steveston. Darren and Crista have a daughter, son-in-law, and grandsons living in South Africa, as well as another son who is known to play the drums at Pilgrim.
For reflection & discussion:
In what ways do people try to earn God's approval instead of receiving it by faith in Christ?
What does it practically mean to "clothe yourselves with Christ" in your daily life?
How does knowing that you are God's adopted child and heir change the way you face struggles, failures, and uncertainties?
